On December 21st, Tove Lo released her music video for her original song Thousand Miles, and I freaking love it. When I saw it on the YouTube popular music list, I instantly became intrigued thinking it was a cover of Vanessa Carlton's popular song A Thousand Miles, but I was totally surprised by what I got. Instead of an intro piano solo, I heard Tove Lo giving a speech about how hard it is to lose the ones we love and then her soothing voice in the ballad.
The song was off her album Queen of the Clouds, which was released in September of 2014 by the Swedish singer. Queen of the Clouds is Lo's follow up album to her debut EP, Truth Serum, which was released in Sweden in March of 2014. The song Habits (Stay High), which also was featured on Queen of the Clouds, helped Lo gain popularity after being the first single released from the Truth Serum EP.

The singer has gain popularity for loving to show her body off at live performance and for her body self confidence. Tove Lo also gained popularity after being featured on Alesso's hit song Heroes (We Could Be), and for writing the song Scream My Name from the Mockingjay: Part 1 Soundtrack.
Queen of the Clouds is a concept album that is divided into three important parts: The Sex, The Love, and The Pain. Thousand Miles opens the section called The Pain with its thunderous electro pop power-ballad that depicts Lo's obsession to reunite with a lost love, even if she has to run "a thousand miles". The album is a story of a relationship she had from beginning to end, and was influenced by Tove Lo's personal experiences.

On the audio video, which was released in September 23,2014, on the Youtube page, ToveLoVevo, a comment is featured to say: "There's no good way to end things cause it's ending you know.. Passion comes with pain. Here's 'Thousand Miles', the song that brings me to tears and still lights that string of hope that "maybe we'll make it”…

When I found the video and listen to the song, I was blown away by how beautiful the music and Tove Lo's speech at the beginning of the video. The song really speaks to anyone that feel they are alone and that feel that no one will ever love them or want to be with them. People don't understand that love is hard work, it's not always a walk in the park. And this song definitely shows that you will and can do everything and anything to get the love of your life.
